The resident who filmed it says it's a disgrace that people collecting waste in bags leave litter behind.

But Cardiff council says it just isn't waste collectors job to pick up street litter and separate street cleansing teams are sent out to do it.

'Happens all the time'

“Happens all the time. Riverside/Canton is permanently filthy and on the rare occasion a litter picker is seen invariably that’s the day before bin day. The bins then go out, the torn bags leave rubbish everywhere and it’s like living in a litter bin again.

“If the bin collectors can’t pick up rubbish does it not make sense to send litter pickers after them?”

Kim Judd said:

"How many seconds would it have taken one of those men to pick up loose rubbish?”

“Red and white bin bags are provided by the council we don’t have a choice in their quality. Those bin bags shown are black and should not have been used by householder/dumper of rubbish."

Our poll found more than 70% think the bin men should clean up after themselves

So far, only 6% of people who took the poll think the council's current waste team structure is right.

'It makes me sad how much rubbish you see'

“I am new to Cardiff and it is a beautiful city, but it makes me sad how much rubbish you can see everywhere.

"Dirt of the road signs is another issue, some are so dirty they are unreadable. It should be a priority of the council to clean up the city, but also responsibility of all the people not to drop litter everywhere.”

“It really isn’t rocket science. The public must play their part and ensure the right bags are used for the right rubbish.

"For food products....the seagulls’ favourite, if you have a microwave meal for instance, clean the aluminium trays out properly before putting them out for recycling. All food items go in the brown caddy.

“A healthy dose of disinfectant in each bag puts off the pesky creatures...fine the landlords they will soon ensure their tenants follow proper procedure, fast food outlets should use some of their profits to invest in co-ordinated street cleaning.

“On each bin round two dedicated personnel to undertake an area sweep.. we must all, community and council, care more for our neighbourhood...is all this too much to expect????..... probably!!”

'They don't take pride in the job'

TedHackett added:

“Part of the problem is the use of cheap bin bags, the urban vultures (seagulls) have no problem ripping the bags apart and scattering the rubbish they contain; the other is council staff taking pride in the job, even if it is just disposing of rubbish.
